Personally, i'd rather have RMS stay in place despite all of this than allowing a character assassination to work out. Because i consider the latter more awful.

Edit: First commit of the rms-open-letter is by Molly de Blanc. TIL she is an ethics moralist like Coraline Ada Ehmke, which paints the whole RMS controversy in a new light.
- fzeroracer 3y agoThen you have chosen for the FSF to die on the hill of the cult of RMS. You've clearly staked your ground and nothing can convince you otherwise, even though there are vast instances of the things RMS has said and done from people that have worked with him and around him. And I hope you realize the deep irony in you complaining about character assassination while you set out to do the same thing to try and prove an irrelevant point.
- blueflow 3y agoReciting her already public twitter bio is not character assassination.
- text0404 3y agowhich is somehow different from reciting stallman's emails and public behavior? the latter being "character assassination"?
- blueflow 3y agoI mean what was written on https://rms-open-letter.github.io/ https://rms-open-letter.github.io/ : > Richard M. Stallman, frequently known as RMS, has been a dangerous force in the free software community for a long time. He has shown himself to be misogynist, ableist, and transphobic, among other serious accusations of impropriety. I think if someone wrote it themselves as a comment here on HN it would constitute flaming and would get flagged.
